Per questo motivo, nonostante le dimensioni ridotte e la sua semplicità, questa fontana è fra le mie preferite:-)Borgo Pio. My grandmother grew up here, playing in the shadows of the columns around St Peter's. And she probably drank many times the water of this little fountain, that was built in 1870, during the reign of Pope Pius IX, together with the restoring of Aqua Marcia ( an ancient Roman aqueduct), that then took the name of Aqua Pia.So, for that reason, even if it's really little and simple, this is one of my favourite fountains :-)

Villa Borghese Gardens. Along the road, not far from Flaminio Square, there's the Fiocco Fountain, built around 1833.prings and waterfalls flow in the big pool at the bottom, clear and smooth... Oh, so many times I wish I could jump in there, it's really temptating! XDOf course I can't do it, but someone else can: often, in Spring, a couple of mallards swims peacefully in this fountain, coming from the near lake :-)

Trastevere, San Michele building. I discovered just by fortune the Fontana del Timone (timone means rudder. I wonder why it's called like that!), while I was riding my bike to take pictures of modern Rome, to compare them with those of the old Rome (you find them on Twitter on@RomaSparitaprofile).Hidden in the traffic of Lungotevere, in front of the ancient Ripa Grande dock on the river, there's this little fountain, built in 1927, with other seven fountains, that represent the symbols of seven different quarters of Rome.

Roman Forum. This one, as witnessed by the next picture, is the Pigeon Fountain.

Ok, I admit it, I don't have idea of its name or of when it was buitl! XDIt's in a quiet corner of the Forum, where, surrounded by the ruins, you wouldn't be surprised if two real ancient Romans walked near you :-)

Help. I mean, I don't have idea of how this fountain is called. The only thing I know is that it's exactly under Pincio's terrace, over Piazza del Popolo, and usually you see it from down there. But going near it is different :-)
